C2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The diameter at the smaller end is 245 mm and at the larger end is 467 mm. The length of the conical tube is 1.8 m and the flow rate of the oil is 128 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 9.7 m of oil.
Considering the following two cases:
(1) Neglecting friction, (without head loss) determine (i) the velocity at the smaller end in m/s, (ii) the velocity at the larger end in m/s, and (iii) the pressure at the larger end of the tube.
(2) If a head loss (with head loss) in the tube is hL= 0.0153(V1-V2)2, where V1 is the velocity at the smaller end and V2 is the velocity at the larger end, determine (iv) the head loss in m of oil and (v) the pressure at the larger end of the tube.
(a) Suppose we have planned to design a hydraulic system.ln this aspect, the pump selection is to be finalized for a flow rate of 3907 Liters per minute, It has been validated that the fluid velocity in a discharge pipeline should be between 4.4 m/s and 6.92 m/s. Calculate the minimum diameter and maximum diameter of pipe that should be used in the pipelines. (b) Write the significance of using minimum diameter pipelines in the hydraulic system. (a) Area of the maximum sized pipe diameter (in m?) (b) Area of the minimum sized pipe diameter (in m2) (c) The minimum sized pipe diameter (in m) (d) The maximum sized pipe diameter (in m)
Propose a centrifugal pump (brand and model) to transport 10 L/s of a fluid with a density of 1500 kg/m3 from a tank located on the first floor to a reactor on the second floor of the plant (8 meters in height). The reactor's operating pressure is 30 psig; the fluid is at 20 °C, and its viscosity is 15 cp. The pipeline on the pump discharge is 30 meters long (considering accessories are included). Neglect pressure losses in the pump suction. Propose the pipe diameter, schedule 40, commercial steel. Make any necessary assumptions. Select a pump capable of delivering a maximum flow of 15 L/s (remember that normal operation will be at 10 L/s) and discuss the price paid for this condition. Provide a copy of the pump curve indicating the operating point. Also, calculate the power consumption of the pump.
